Main Line Happy Hour Book Club - Queen of Dirt Island

Let's meet at Char & Stave in Ardmore to discuss 'The Queen of Dirt Island'. Char & Stave offers us the best of both worlds, serving coffee and cocktails!

We'll meet at 5:30, introduce ourselves, and cheers! I'll bring some questions and conversation topics about the book, and will be interested to hear everyone's thoughts.

RSVPs: I am limiting the RSVPs to 8, so not to overwhelm the space. Snag your spot ASAP, but please remove your RSVP promptly if you cannot attend, so someone else has the opportunity to read the book and join us.

Parking: Parking on Rittenhouse Place becomes free at 6pm, so you will have to pay for the first 30 minutes. It's somewhere in the ballpark of .25-.50 cents, which can be paid by meter or Park Mobile app.

Here's Amazon's description of our read: The Aylward women of Nenagh, Tipperary, are mad about each other, but you wouldn’t always think it. You’d have to know them to know that—in spite of what the neighbors might say about raised voices and dramatic scenes—their house is a place of peace, filled with love, a refuge from the sadness and cruelty of the world.

Their story begins at an end and ends at a beginning. It involves wives and widows, gunrunners and gougers, sinners and saints. It’s a story of terrible betrayals and fierce loyalties, of isolation and togetherness, of transgression, forgiveness, desire, and love. Of all the things family can be and all the things it sometimes isn’t. The Queen of Dirt Island is an uplifting celebration of fierce, loyal love and the powerful stories that bind generations together.

I look forward to seeing everyone there!
